A sleeve or cylindrical air controlling member 23 is rotatably carriedby the body I8. The body I8 at its rear end is provided with a ange orlrib 24 against which the rear end of the sleeve 23 is adapted to abut.The exterior diameter of the sleeve 23 is substantially equal to thediameter of the ange 24 which is also substantially equal to the largestdiameter of the stem I2.

The sleeve 23 terminates at its forward end substantially coplanar withthe shoulder 22 so that when the device is in applied position theforward end of the sleeve 23 will frictionally contact with the rear endof the stem II. In this manner the stem II will frictionally hold thesleeve 23 against rotation.

The said portion or body I8 forwardly of socket I9 and rearwardly of theshoulder 22 is provided with a vent 01 air opening 25 and the sleeve 23is also provided with an opening 26 which is adapted to be placed inregistry with the opening so-that air may pass through the openings 2Gand 25 and then enter the bore 2|. Preferably the exterior surface ofthe sleeve 23 is serrated or knurled as at 2'! so that the rotation ofthe sleeve or air controlling member 23 may be readily eifected.

In Figure 5 there is disclosed a cigar or cigarette holder 28 with whichthe air cooling member IIa is adapted to be combined. The air coolingmember I'Ia is substantially identical in every detail with the aircooling member Il' with the possible exception that the socket 599-thereoiv is tapered and of a size sufficient to readily receive the endof a cigar or a cigarette. In other respects the air cooling member I'Iais identical with the air cooling member Il'.

In the use of the device where the device is combined with a pipe asshown in Figures l to 4 the reduced portion 20 is inserted in the boreI5 .which is conventionally provided in the stem II! for the reducedextension I6 of the mouthpiece I2. The extension I 6 of the mouthpieceI2 is then inserted in the larger or rear bore I S of the body i8 and ifit is desired to admit air into the bore 2| coactive with the drawing ofsmoke through the bore I3 and the bore I4 the air controlling sleeve 23is rotated to a point where the hole 2S is in substantial registry withthe hole 25. If the amount of air being drawn through v.the holes 25 and26 is too great, the amount of air being drawn therethrough may be cutdown by moving the sleeve 23 to a position where the hole 26 is not incomplete registry with the hole 25.

` The device herein disclosed may be constructed out of relatively lightmaterial or if desired may be constructed out of composite material sothat the device may be made of a color simulating the color of eitherthe stem II or the mouthpiece I2.

I claim:

1. In a smoke cooling device for smokers appliances, a one-piece bodyformed of a rear portion and a forward portion, said portions being ofdifferent outer diameters, said body being formed with a peripheralshoulder at the junction of said portions, said rear portion beingprovided in a part of the length thereof with a socket having its mouthat the rear end of such portion, said body being formed with an axialbore of uniform diameter, said bore opening at its rear end into saidsocket through the base wall of the latter and at its forward end at theforward end of said forward portion, said body being formed with an airvent opening at its outer end at the outer periphery of said body andarranged between the base wall of said socket and said shoulder, saidvent being disposed at right angles to and opening at its inner end intosaid bore, said rear portion being provided at the rear end of its outerperiphery with an annular rib, and a sleeve revolubly mounted on saidrear portion having one end abutting said rib and provided with anopening for controlling communication of the vent with the atmosphere.

2. In a smokers appliance, a mouth piece having a bore throughout, aforwardly disposed reduced extension and a peripheral shoulder, a stemhaving a socket in its rear terminal part and a bore opening into andextending forwardly from said socket, a one-piece body interposedbetween said mouthpiece and stem and formed of rear and forward portionsof different outer diameters and with said outer diameters being lessthan the diameter of the forward end of the mouthpiece and the rear endof the stem, said rear portion being formed with an annular rib on therear end of its outer periphery and with a rearwardly opening lengthwisesocket for a part of its length, said socket encompassing saidextension, said forward portion being arranged in the socket of saidstem, the junction of said portions of said body forming the latter witha peripheral shoulder abutting the rear end of said stem, the rear endof said rear portion and said rib abutting the shoulder on themouthpiece, said body being provided with an axial bore eX- tending fromthe base of its socket to the forward end of its forward portionarranged between the bores of the mouth piece and stem, said bores beingof uniform diameter, the forward end of the bore of the mouthpieceregistering with the rear end of the bore in said body, the rear end ofthe bore in the stem registering with the forward end of the bore inSaid body, said rear portion being formed with an air vent opening atits outer end at the outer periphery of' said body and disposed betweenthe base wall of the socket in said rear portion and the said shoulderon said body, said vent being arranged at right anglesl to and openingat its inner end into the bore of said body, and a revoluble sleevemounted on said rear portion between said rib and rear end of the stemand provided with an opening for controlling communication between saidvent and the atmosphere, said sleeve frictionally engaging with the rearend of said stem.
